Well, I tried! I REALLY wanted to continue on from last week's Dark Mech video and have a full-sized, 3d printed "Imperial Knight" proxy to show off in this week's video, but alas, things didn't quite go according to plan.

The model exploded. It cracked into bits.

I'm no quitter though, so I transformed the broken parts into a battlemech graveyard while chatting to Steve (Little Plastic People) and trying to figure out what the hell went wrong!

I hope you enjoy it.

ALSO, ps, there's a new format for the credits in this video!

The credits have basically been the same for the last 3 years, but I'm shaking this up a bit based on the recommendation of an actual YouTube rep I was chatting with recently.

Let me know what you think of the change!
